Why does my car cut off when in reverse?
Hi there. For the reverse stalling condition, check the Idle Air Control Valve and see if its plugged up. If a IAC valve is plugged up, an engine will stall out when going into gear and could cause issues when slowing down. For the steering and stalling issue, check the power steering fluid and see if its low.
Why does my car turn off when I shift gears?
Most of the time it is due to a faulty throttle body. The throttle motor fails at times and cannot keep the throttle plate open to the right angle. In some other cases the throttle body may just be dirty and can be cleaned. I usually start by doing a visual check and cleaning it if it is dirty.
Does a bad transmission make your car shut off?
You’ll just need a little more practice. An automatic transmission can also cause a car to stall, but that’s a much bigger problem. If the torque converter isn’t engaging and disengaging correctly, or if the automatic transmission fluid is old or leaking, the transmission could slip and cause your car to stall.

What happens when you shift from Park to drive?
It seems a little hard to restart and once it is started it will shut off again when shifted into gear. It will shut off like this six or more times before it will finally go into gear and finally stay running. It is not an issue the rest of the day, it will start and shift out of park into gear without stalling the engine just fine.

Why does my car stall when shifting into reverse?
If it happens when you are shifting into reverse then it could be that your Torque Converter Clutch is being engaged at idle. In this case I would recommend doing a complete transmission flush and replace the transmission filter and fluid.
